NEW 2017 Mazda CX-5

Mazda CX-5 [EU]

Introduced in 2012, the CX-5 was Mazda's first compact SUV, the first model to feature the full range of SKYACTIV Technology, and the first mass-production rendition of the carmaker's KODO - Soul of Motion design theme. It would soon become Mazda's top seller in Europe.
In fact, one-quarter of all Mazdas sold globally are CX-5s, and it's still Europe's favourite today despite being the oldest model generation in the carmaker's line-up. With the all-new CX-5, Mazda aimed to improve on the strengths of a vehicle that has captured well over 100 awards to date, redefining the standard for compact SUVs while evolving the car's Jinba-Ittai personality in harmony with human sensibilities.

The intuitive nature of the all-new CX-5 shines inside the "heads-up" cabin, where all important functions are designed for operation with the least possible effort. For example, the vehicle is now available with a windscreen projected head-up display, a feature otherwise seen in this class only in premium models, and a centre console display located on top of the dash for easier viewing. Efforts to reduce road, wind and powertrain noise, meanwhile, enable stress-free conversation. The refined design and outstanding craftsmanship round out the relaxed, upscale interior atmosphere.

AN EXPERIENCE IN QUALITY

As for the exterior, the all-new CX-5 gave the previous generation's KODO shapes a minimalist aesthetic, removing non-essential elements. The "refined toughness" motto for the new model emphasises a solid, imposing SUV stance with a wider track, A-pillars positioned rearwards, and a lower roof and beltline. The theme echoes inside the roomy cabin with sleek yet rugged elements flowing horizontally outwards from the steering wheel.

Propulsion comes from the same distinguished line-up of lightweight SKYACTIV powertrains and chassis so praised in the outgoing generation, only now tweaked for added responsiveness and efficiency. Together with handling and safety-enhancing innovations like G-Vectoring Control, they react precisely as the driver intends, immediately building confidence and satisfaction, while sharing Jinba-Ittai - the car as an extension of the driver - with everyone on board.
With enriched premium-level quality, intuitive functionality and outstanding responsiveness, the all-new Mazda CX-5 is a class above the rest of Europe's compact SUV segment.
